A Kiss in the Morning Early

A song brought by the Canadian folk group McGinty.
The year 2007 was the “30th Anniversary Year” for McGinty. John Ferguson, Don Moore and Dave Hickey have been performing together for over 30 years with an ease that is rare in traditional maritime music. They have a way of taking standards and subtly turning them into energetic romps or melancholy ballads, yet each tune is unmistakably McGinty.
Throughout their career McGinty has shared the stage with some of the legends of folk music including Liam Clancy, Tom Paxton, John Prine, The Chieftans and The Kingston Trio. They have taken their show to every corner of Canada including the arctic, south of the border to the U.S.A. and have performed in Iceland and Ireland.
